sudden Death Of Judee Elles.
A Trest1e Over which &c Had 20 Pass

CHICAGO, october LA NeDs special from
Memphis, Tenn, says: When the pilot train pre-
ceding the Presidential train arrived at q trestle
between Bonneville and Jonesboro, Ark, yester-
day morning, the engineer discovered the trestle
TO be on nre He did not make the discovery until
was too late TO stop the train before the engine
had passed over the burning portion. As soon as
possible he backed the train Oh the trestle and
jumped down TO examine the IRE. He found that
a section about ten feet square was In flames and
that the fre had been started the under side OF

trainmen. with the help OF some OF the passengers
succeeded In putting out the fre. when II was dis
covered that the flames had not eaten danger

evidence OF an attempt at train-wreckfng. The

bility that sparks were the cause OF It. Then too,
the f1re was certainly set TO more than one tie at
